Weapons Prohibition Act 1998

Subject to the regulations, an existing permit that authorised the possession or use of a prohibited weapon—

is taken to be a permit of the corresponding kind (as determined by the Commissioner) issued under this Act, and

continues (unless it is sooner suspended or revoked in accordance with this Act or otherwise ceases to be in force) to authorise the possession or use of the weapon in respect of which it was issued for a period of 12 months from the commencement of this clause or for such longer period as may be prescribed by the regulations.

The conditions to which an existing permit is subject are, subject to the regulations, taken to be conditions imposed by the Commissioner under this Act, and any such condition may be varied or revoked in accordance with this Act.
